Courses with Ivor Rackham Photography

Ivor’s Courses and Workshops

I believe in getting as many people as possible to become great photographers. I deliver a whole range of affordable training packages through my popular courses and workshops.

My basic “Bronze” courses and workshops teach the rudiments of exposure and camera control, experimenting with different settings and with the ‘rule of thirds’. I deliver those either in one day, two half days, or over five weeks.

The “Silver” intermediate courses build on that, teaching techniques including spot metering, long exposures and the golden section. If you have already mastered your camera in Aperture or Shutter Priority then this is the training for you.

I call my more in-depth training “Gold” courses. These are more challenging. Still hands-on, they cover colour theory and advanced metering. We also look at perception, different types of contrast and other composition methods. I just launched my new 8-week advanced course.

Though scheduled course syllabuses are fixed, they still have flexibility depending upon the participants’ learning.

Less rigid, I also build Bespoke Courses. Often run as one-to-one training or for small groups of friends or families, these meet your needs on dates and times to suit you. They can be adapted from any of the above courses, or can concentrate on one topic, maybe something completely different. I have been asked for studio lighting, planning and implementing a sunrise and sunset photoshoots, a led expedition on Amble’s Puffin Crusies or to the Farne Islands, long exposures, mastering flash, water droplet photography and portraiture.

Mostly held outdoors, the training is practical and you will be taking lots of photographs.

Assignments are given. Also, course participants get a year’s membership of my exclusive Facebook group where you can ask questions, get one-to-one advice and share your work, as well as discounts and access to free photoshoots.

I am proud of my superb 100% positive feedback on Google and Facebook and over 90% of my clients come back for more training. I really enjoy delivering training and I know the participants do too.
